As a long time lurker I first want to thank the moderators and other knowledgeable good people that keep this board running. Your contributions ease the
minds of many of us who have been stressed out or confused over the CRDP situation.

On 31 Oct 2000 I retired from the USAF after 20 years, 8 months and 26 days. I am rated at 90% IU. As of November 3rd, 2008, I will be in full receipt of my
retirement benefit. Now I am trying to figure out how much money is owe in back pay for lost retirement income. What is the effective date of back pay?

The first thing is when was the effective date for your IU? You will be paid as far back as 1 Jan 05 if your effective date of IU was then or earlier but if
your IU effective date was 1 Jan 06 then that's where the backpay is established. You will be paid all the VA Waiver money that was witheld from your
military Retirement Account Statement (RAS) for VA and you should be able to check the amount withheld from your LES.
